In industrial automation systems, mixed use of multi-brand PLCs often leads to low collaboration efficiency and high maintenance costs due to protocol incompatibility and complex configurations. ZENIT HMI enables seamless connectivity with multi-brand PLCs, equipped with communication passthrough and flexible configuration capabilities. It completely eliminates brand and interface barriers, achieving rapid networking and unified management of cross-brand PLCs—simplifying device collaboration.
Supporting mainstream PLC brands like Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Inovance, Schneider—regardless of model age, serial, or Ethernet interfaces. Users can directly integrate PLCs of different brands and interfaces without protocol adaptation, enabling unified data acquisition and command execution to significantly lower interoperability barriers.
Using transparent transmission technology, users can directly read and modify PLC programs/parameters via the HMI, eliminating standalone PLC connections. Real-time internal data access is possible even during PLC operation, while retaining original logic control—streamlining debugging, diagnostics, and maintenance.
The solution supports custom message configuration, allowing users to define data frame structures, field mappings, and validation rules for third-party devices or proprietary protocols. Non-standard equipment or private protocols can be seamlessly integrated through flexible settings, meeting bespoke application needs.
By importing PLC Tag Library files, the system auto-detects device variable names, addresses, and data types to generate unified tag lists. Engineers can map and bind cross-brand PLC tags without manual entry—reducing configuration errors and accelerating deployment.
Seamless HMI-PLC connectivity transcends complex setups, enabling unified management through simplicity and adaptability. Whether retrofitting legacy systems or deploying new production lines, this technology unlocks device potential while slashing operational complexity.
